"The first brush of Anu and Padomay." Considering it that way makes things so much clearer.

Alright. That's what I thought it was.

Seriously, the denizens of the Lore forum confuse the crap of me sometimes. I mean, I usually just give up trying to understand these things because I'm afraid I might go mad from the revelation, like in Call of Cthulhu or something.

Funny. I alwasy saw it as "szzzjj." And honestly, that's probably where the words http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/chaos.shtml came from.

The internet was different back then, more like a rural country town with three houses and a farm then the big vibrant and polluted city it is now. It wasn't that common to have such busy threads here I reckon. :rolleyes:

I'm sure it's in the thread somewhere. Look above; maybe my post can help a bit.

What?

I guess he could have been but there isn't really any indication of his race at all.

Even so, Akaviri blood is supposed to be a "glamourous" thing in Cyrodiil, and an Akaviri name something to be proud of. Goes back to the days of the Akaviri potentate.

And just in case this post makes no sense in context what so ever, I'll admit right away that I did not read much of it before answering.

PSJJJJ is meant to be unpronounceable, symbolizing that any attempt to categorize Change Itself would, by virtue of its adherence to an UNchanging word, fail to adequately describe what it attempts to describe. PSJJJJ is not a true word in the scrict sense...it is an attempt to understand something that cannot possibly be understood, state of mind one can achieve but for a moment before what one is attempting to understand changes yet again.

I could probably say it, it just wouldn't sound very good. Like blowing a raspberry.

But there was once a mystery cult that added Daedric principles falling within the Sphere of Mephala in an attempt to provide them with something that could be consistently worshipped in some form of structured manner. ending up with "Sithis", an odd conceptual mixture of PSJJJJ and Mephala. These people became known as the Dark Brotherhood. The blessings and Wrath of Sithis is, more than likely, a manifestation of the Webspinner's daedric might in the guise of "Sithis".

Why would Mephala do this? Who knows, it is the Webspinner after all.
Yours in the Scrolls,

___The Word Merchant of Julianos

I know this part is somewhat off-topic, but the Dark Brotherhood aren't the only to claim to worship Sithis. The Crimson Scars also worshipped him, and even had a working altar to him. Sithis may indeed be a sentient entity.

The Crimson Scars were a splinter faction of the Dark Brotherhood. The altar shows a combination between a heartless Lorkhan and the grim reaper, trapped in a cage of (earth) bones. It meshes with the principle of actively invoking death as a celebration of living. Lorkhan was the god that brought death back to the Aurbis. He's also called the Soul of Sithis.

I've never been totally committed to the idea in the first place. The idea just satisfied the question of "what the assassin guilds were worshipping?"

Well it's very easy to accept as an explanation of how the Dark Brotherhood got their borrowed Dunmeri ideas mixed up, if not for why the altars work.

Sure, relating Sithis to the Missing God. I never really rejected the explanation, just I feel uneasy about the idea of connecting the Trickster to the way the Dark Brotherhood attempts to explain Sithis.
